    1. Freeman Cem. location
    2. It's hard to describe how to get to the Freeman Cem. The site that I found was verified to have been a cemetery by Tom Stander, a local cemetery/history buff. The site also fits a description of the location as given in a local paper from about 1880. The only remnants that I found were a concrete base with a slot that could have held a headstone and several field stones that seemed to have been part of headstones. Tom said the area had been bulldozed. It is quite brushy. It's been said that a nearby farmer had used the stones to make a path. The owner of the old Coulter farmhouse says that some are in her yard. Location: northeast out of Oxford on Bonham Rd., right (south) on Hillcrest Dr., continue on short private dirt road, no place to park, trespass on private property for several hundred yards going generally south. I am willing to lead those who are interested via a longer walking route that avoids walking by the nearby houses. The area can be better seen after the leaves fall. Please realize that their is virtually nothing to see, we would be mostly bushwhacking and using deer trails, and I will probably make a few wrong turns. Morris Peters MPorris@aol.com
